PREFACE 



The appreciation of and co-operation ^Wth the work of sur- 
veying the rural schools has nowhere l)een heartier and more 
cordial than in Bulloch County, and nowhere has there been 
manifested a readier determination to take advantage of it and 
build upon it. The enthusiastic and ready help extended by 
the county superintendent and board of education made pos- 
sible and pleasant a work which would have otherwise been ex- 
tremely difficult. The time seemed to be opportune, for the 
irresistible enthusiasm prevailing througliout the county for 
better schools needed the intelligent direction tliat comes from 
a more accurate and fuller knoAvledge of existing conditions, 
lest the cause should suffeij from a "zeal not according to 
knowledge. ' ' 

Unexpected and gratifying results of the survey came in 
many instances along with it, sometimes even anticipating it, 
and there are strong indications that others will surely follow. 
Indeed, many of our reports of conditions had to be modified 
before leaving the county on account of having been imme- 
diately improved, and before this report can be put into print 
it will do injustice to others on account of still further im- 
proved conditions. The rapid development of the schools of 
so large a county calls loudly for more and better professional 
supervision and direction than it is possible for any one man 
to give, however well qualified or industrious he is. 



A FEW OF THE MOST PRESSING NEEDS OF THE 
BULLOCH COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. 



1. County-wide "local taxation" for the business-like sup- 
port and direction of the schools. 

2. A supervisor to assist the superintendent in a closer super- 
vision of the schools. Also, more office room for a permanent 
display of school work. 

3. A better planning of school houses for school purposes. 
Also, better equipments. 

4. Better sanitation. Particularly with reference to the 
drinking water and the school toilets. 

5. Consolidation at some points. One-teacher schools can 
never reach the highest efficiency. The children deserve the 
best. 

THE AIM. 

To Make Every School in Bulloch County as Good as the 
Best School in Bulloch County. 



AS IS THE SCHOOL SO WILL BE THE COUNTY 

(P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education.) 

"The schoolhoiise is the temple which we erect to the god of 
childhood. The schoolroom is the home of the child during the 
most important hours of the most important years of its life. 
The schoolroom, the schoolhouse and the school grounds consti- 
tute the best index to the degr£e of civilization and to the ideals 
of the community. 

Everything about the school should be beautiful, clean and 
wholesome. The sanitation should he perfect. The place where 
children go to prepare for life and gain strength for its duties 
should not be a hotbed for the germs of disease and death. That 
the time in school may be used to best advantage, the child should 
be under the most favorable conditions. No one does his best 
work otherwise. 

Since ideals formed in childhood from its environment and 
the daily associations go with us through life, the cleanliness 
and beauty of schoolhouses and grounds are more powerful than 
all other agencies in determining the cleanliness and beauty of 
private homes and public buildings in the community where 
the children live as grownup men and women. The repulsive 
impressions of ugliness, dirt and disease accumulating from day 
to day drive children from school. The attractiveness of beauty, 
cleanliness, sweetness and comfort increasing from day to day 
is more powerful in bringing the child and all its interests to 
school, and keeping it there, than any attendance laAvs can 
ever be. 

As are the school and the schoolhouse, so will be the home, 
the city, the State and the nation. For every community the 
motto shoukl be: "For our schools — health, comfort and 
beautv. ' ' 




TYPICAL "WIN i'KU S( K.XES OF BULLOCH ('(it'XTY 



BULLOCH COUNTY. 

Bulloch has well earned the reputation of being one of the 
largest, richest, most progressive and most resourceful of the 
southeast Georgia counties. Until the recent cuts from its ter- 
ritory for the formation of three new counties, it was one of 
the largest in the State, and still covers' a very large and rich 
territory. It has for some years stood in the foremost rank of 
Georgia counties in the matter of progressive agriculture, yet 
only about one-third of its land is under cultivation. There 
still stands untouched large tracts of original south Georgia 
yellow pine that will ere long he a memory of the past in the 
State. If every acre of arable land was under cultivation, and 
all as intelligently tilled as theJiest now are, Bulloch County 
could feed the State. However, it would 1)e unfortunate, in- 
deed, if its material resources should be rapidly developed at 
the expense or neglect of the educational. 

"One dollar in the pockets of an educated man is worth 
more to him than a thousand in the pockets of an ignorant 
man is worth to him. Ignorance multiplied by a million dol- 
lars does not come to as much as intelligence multiplied l\v 
thirty cents." 

"The common schools should have the right of way over all 
other institutions that stand for the public good. 

"Every dollar that the taxpayer takes out of his pockets 
for the support of the common schools today will put back 
many dollars into the pockets of his children tomorrow." 

Bulloch County has built many miles of fine public roads, 
over which I traveled to inspect the ninety-three public schools 
of the county. 

Notwithstanding these good roads, and with the constant 
use of Superintendent Olliff's automobile, it required seven full 
weeks' work to complete a hurried personal inspection of each 
one of these schools. Very little help or supervision was at- 
tempted for the limited time and the large numlier of schools 
hardly allowed more than a hurried inspection. This experi- 
ence was convincing proof that no one man. hoA\ever indus- 
trious, could satisfactorily superintend and eil'ectively super- 
vise so large a system of rural schools. Such clo?e and efficient 
supervision as the needs of Bulloch County schools indicate. 



or the teachers and children of Bnlloch County deserve, wonld 
require at least one supervisor working constantly Avith and 
under the direction ot the superintendefit. And, next ^o a 
more liberal and business-like plan of maintenance, this is 
now probably the most immediate need of the county school 
system. To limit his work for the schools of the county to the 
"letter of the law," and merely "visit each school at least once 
in every sixty days," would occupy all of one man's time. But 
the interests of the cause and the spirit of the law demand far 
more than this. 

"Rural school systems, especially, need skillful supervision, 
for here the educational problems of the day are the most diffi- 
cult, the teachers generally the youngest, both in years and 
experience, and have the least training for their work. The 
rural teachers, therefore, need and have a right to the help that 
comes from the sympathetic oversight of a competent super- 
visor. ' ' 

Definite recommendations touching this important matter 
appear elsewhere herein. 

School Houses and Grounds. 

There are good titles to nearly all of the school 
lots in the county, and generally they are vested in the county 
board of education. Furthermore, the areas are above the 
average, generally from two to four acres. They have not gen- 
erally, as yet, been improved for educational purposes. There 
are some notable exceptions where the grounds are being beau- 
tified and school gardens planned. Very few have given much 
attention to play grounds, and none to providing play appli- 
ances and appai'atus. 

"A school without a play ground is an educational de- 
formity and a gross injustice to childhood." 

Very many good and some expensive school houses have 
been built, generally by the patrons, aided by appropriations 
from the board of education. With few exceptions, however, 
these have not been well planned. Some of the best ones are 
fine auditoriums, but unsuited for class rooms, neither properly 
shaped nor sufficiently lighted. This is generally the case in 
every county in proportion as the units of administration are 

8 



increased. It is evidence of conimendalile zeal and a lamentable 
lack of knowledge as to school architecture. So in the painting 
of school houses in this and most counties it is noticealile that 
due consideration is not generally given to a harmony of colors 
or their scientific selection with reference to proper lighting 
of the buildings. There is, however, a decided tendency to- 
wards improvement in these matters in the more recent Iniild- 
ings. All are heated by small wood stoves, and no jacketed 
stove was found anywhere. 

(A good bulletin on school architecture can ])e had from tlie 
State Department of Education.) 

Equipment. 

In Bulloch County, as elsewhere over the State, there is a 
lamentable lack of adequate school e(juipment, and this is a 
serious hindrance. (See detailed inventories of school equip- 
ment at each school as herein given.) Such equipment and 
teachers' helps as are provided for the most progressive and 
successful up-to-date schools would greatly facilitate the edu- 
cation of the children and enhance the work of the teachers. 
Money wisely spent on equipment in any business always proves 
profitable and makes for true economy. 

Sanitation. 

Always the health of the children should be the first and 
foremost concern. The most serious matters of sanitation that 
demand attention are the di-inking water and the school toilets. 
Practically all of the schools of the county are provided with 
shallow wells or pumps on the school lots, varying in depth from 
20 to 30 feet, but the water standing quite near the top during 
the wet seasons. At best this is a difficult problem in south 
Georgia, but nevertheless a serious one. Some of these wells 
were found in bad, and a few in filthy, condition. Responsible 
parties should be charged with the duty of constantly looking 
after them, and at least keeping them cleaned out. Where the 
lives of the children are involved, it would be well to have tiie 
water examined and its purity certified by tlie State Board of 
Health. 

The absence of toilets for teachers and children is alwavs 




POOR SCHOOL CLOSET. 

inexcusable, and hardly less so when onhj one is provided. To 
provide them and neglect to care for them is nearly as bad. 
No disinfectants are used at any of the schools. Unless more 
attention is given this matter hy the rural schools the work of 
the hookworm commission in Georgia will soon have to lie done 
over again. Both health and decency demand more attention 
to this matter. 

Consolidation. 

While one of the most important subjects connected with 
county school administration, this is one of the most difficult. 
Since it is almost impossible for a one-teacher school with all 
the common-school grades to be an efficient school, the matter 
of consolidation deserves serious consideration. There are a 



10 



few places in Bulloch County where the consolidation of sev- 
eral schools could be effected without inconvenience and to 
the very great advantage of all concerned. It would only re- 
quire the surrendering of a few prejudices, but the greater 
interests of the children demand it. This is notably true in the 
neighborhood of the ^schools at Clito, Ivanhoe, and, perhaps, 
others. 

Course of Study. 

No school does its best work for the conmiunity when its 
efforts are limited to the prescribed academic course of study. 
If the efficiency of any school is to be "measured by its re- 
action upon the interests and ^activities of the community," 
then its course of study should be vitalized by these community 
activities, such as literary clubs, civic-health clubs, debating 
clubs, school gardens, corn and canning clubs, and the like. 
Some of the schools of the county are experiencing rich results 
from one or more of these life-activities introduced into the 
school life, but others are suffering from the lack of any vital- 
izing agencies. The corn and canning cluli work and the several 
debating clubs are doing excellent work. 

Scholarship. 

Whatever else a school may stand for it is supposed to stand 
for scholarship. And yet a lack of thoroughness in the funda- 
mentals of scholarship is probably the most noticeable char- 
acteristic of the rural schools in this and other counties sur- 
veyed. In the majority of schools we have found that the ma- 
jority of the children of the fifth and sixth grades do not readily 
enumerate numbers of six figures ; cannot add accurately and 
with reasonable rapidity ; cannot read their history lessons un- 
derstandiugly or well ; are very slow in finding a word in the 
dictionary, generally unable to determine its meaning clearly 
when found, and can rarely determine its pronunciation at all. 
These serious defects seem to be mainly the results of a lack of 
training on the part of primary teachers, but partly, perhaps, 
from irregular attendance. Satisfactory work cannot be done 
in the intermediate grades because good work has not been done 
in the primary grades. Children cannot "read to learn" when 

11 



tluy have not "'learned to read.'' The common lack of 
thoroughness in the fundamentals of scholarship nearly forces 
one to the conclusion that most of our rural schools should con- 
centrate their time and efforts on the first four grades. Certain 
it i-5 that the empha.sis of attention should be given to these. 

The trouble comes largely from the dangerous heresy, too 
commonly practiced, that ''Cousin Sallie's scholarship is good 
enough for her to teach the little children of the primary 
grades." Is it right or reasonable to spend so many times more 
on the finishing years than on the foundation years of a 
child 's education 1 

We would urge the selection of trained teachers, but Avhere 
only the principal is to be a trained teacher the first grade 
should be assigned to the principal. This is done in a few places 
and ought to be in many others. 

Financial. 

The county received from the State school fund for 
1914, .^30,76-4.85. This amount is insufficient to maintain 
long terms or to hold the best teachers. However, it was sup- 
plemented by "local taxation" in four districts, by subscrip- 
tions in some and tuition in others, and sometimes by "box 
suppers" and other devises to make up deficiencies, and thereby 
either the salaries or the length of the terms, or both, were 
somewhat increased. None of these methods of financing the 
schools are either satisfactory or permanent, except the method 
of taxation. The matter of maintenance is fundamental to ali 
other progress in our public school system. 

These supplementary amounts are generally uncertain a)id 
hard of collection, except where based upon taxation.

The Negro Schools. 

While making this survey there was a week's institute eon- 
ducted for the negro teachers under the general direction of 
Special Supervisor Godard, in which we rendered some assist- 
ance. The institute was well attended, and the entire week 
devoted to industrial features. 

It has been thought by some that much of the money and 
effort devoted to negro education has been a waste, and some of 
it \TOrse than waste. The grain of truth in such opinion prob- 
ably comes from the lack of proper supervision and direction. 
The administration in Bulloch County appears to be giving 
serious concern to the proper direction anrl supervision of the 
negro schools. The helper secured through the Jeanes Fund 
has enabled this to be done more effectively. An attempt has 
been made to stimulate a sentiment among the negro schools for 
better sanitary conditions, and gratifying evidence of this was 
apparent in the cleanliness of many of their school houses. 
The negro school, as a rule, is closely related, physically and 
otherwise, to the local church and lodge. All of the negro 
schools of the county were visited and inspected. The academic 
work is nearly alike in them all, and about as it averages else- 
where. 

No Equipment. 

Beyond the fact that an effort is being made to put the em- 
phasis upon sanitation, and to introduce certain forms of light 
industrial work into the negro schools, there is nothing par- 
ticularly deserving notice. The schools were photographed, 
and the pictures will serve to show their general physical con- 
dition.
